I don’t know of any millennial or younger who assumes there will be a safety net for them at the end of the road. We just don’t trust those in charge to keep it. I’ll fight for it, I paid into it and I want others to have it, but I can’t bank on it either

Same as any theory, but it’s enough to make Christians freak out

I don’t blame them, they come from Reddit and expect the exact same. To them it looks like a feature is missing - when in reality it was deliberately chosen

OP don’t take the downvotes personally, it’s just that the question has been asked many times before

Was gonna say, covid if anything made me more focused. I did so many side projects

It’s probably either failed or they faked the size, and that’s the average speed of the entire operation now. But yes, it’s abysmal

Agree with this guy. If you like, I’ve done the tech job hunt too many times now, feel free to DM me your linked in and I’d be happy to give impressions on it

Peak programming

To all the young engineers here, this is one of those things that seems really funny and a great idea at the time, but lasts way past the joke being funny.

If you name your services Megatron or aragorn then be ready for business and executives to use those names for 10+ years. The joke is officially dead when you force someone 3 layers above you to demand “why did Galactica go down over the weekend, who is responsible?!”. Be thoughtful in your naming.

I honestly agree. The casting of the movies was perfect in my opinion. Mr and Mrs Weasley. Snape. Trewlawney, mcGonagle. Harry, Ron, Hermione. It was great casting up and down. They’re never going to get a cast like that again, so honestly who cares. That’s how I view this whole show. It’s just a cash grab, so who cares.

Iv come to loathe the “pythonic way” because of this. They claim they wanted to make programming easier, but they sure went out of their way to not follow conventions and make it difficult to relearn. For example, for me not having lambdas makes python even more complex to work with. List operations are incredibly easy with map and filter, but they decided lambdas weren’t “pythonic” and so we have these big cumbersome things instead with wildly different syntax.

That’s a different problem. The original question was when would a competent dev use an LLM.

I mean, it’s not like it ships it to production. You can read code it writes and modify it if you don’t like it, or choose not to use it.

I use it daily. I wouldn’t blindly trust code it writes, but it offers alternative solutions and when I’m hunting for a but it’s very good at giving me ideas of what might be wrong at a glance. Terraform and infra too it can catch nuances i may be missing.

Okay I’m going to go against the grain, and will probably get downvoted to hell, but this is not new. This is PC gaming. This has always been PC gaming. Hot take - you don’t need 4k@60fps to be able to have fun playing games.

New games require top of the line hardware (or hardware that doesn’t even exist yet) for high-ultra settings. Always have, always will. (Hell, we had an entire meme about ‘can it run crysis’, a game that literally could only play on low-medium on even the highest level machines for a few years) Game makers want to make their games not just work now, but want them to look great in 5 years too. Unless you have shelled out over a grand this year for the absolute latest GPU, you should not expect any new game to run on great settings.

In fact, I do keep my PC fairly bleeding edge and I can’t drive more than High settings on most games - and that’s okay. Eventually I’ll play them on Ultra, when hardware catches up. It’s fine.

And as for low to mid level hardware I was there too - and that’s just PC gaming friend. I played Borderlands and Left4Dead the year they came out on a very old Radeon card at 640x480 in windowed mode, medium settings, at about 40fps.

Again, this is just what PC gaming is. If you want crisp ultra graphics, you’re gonna have to shell out the ultra payments. Otherwise, fine tuning low to medium payments, becoming okay with sub 60fps, this is all fairly normal.

Personally, when I upgrade I find great joy in going back and “rediscovering” some of the older games and playing them on ultra for the first time.

We call this a whoopsie daisy.

Stack overflow has always been ego and arrogance. Personally I’d love to see a federated version, we all host shards

Yeah you can tell it just ratholes on trying to force one concept to work rather than realizing it’s not the correct concept to begin with

No, still “perfect” for llms. There’s nuance, seeing patterns being used, it should be able to handle it perfectly. Enough people on stack overflow asked enough questions, if AI is like Google and Microsoft claim it is, it should have handled it

(smugly) I won’t take that raise because my tax rate would go up. You’re a sucker if you want to take that raise. You make more money by taking less money.
